COMMUNITY INPUT
"FORM 990, SCH H, PT V, SEC B, LINE 5-FACILITY 1 CONE HEALTH'S MOST RECENT COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT (2022) DRAWS ON THE TALENTS OF DATA ANALYSTS, COMMUNITY, LEADERS, ACTIVISTS, RESEARCHERS, PRACTITIONERS, AND LOCAL RESIDENTS. ALONGSIDE OUR REGIONAL ASSESSMENT, CONE HEALTH HELPS TO CONVENE AND LEAD CHA TEAMS IN ALAMANCE, GUILFORD, AND ROCKINGHAM COUNTIES. CONE HEALTH CREATES A PARTICIPATORY PROCESS THAT REPRESENTS THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING PEOPLE WITH PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTISE, MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED INDIVIDUALS, LOW- INCOME INDIVIDUALS, AND PEOPLE OF COLOR. EACH COUNTY OFFERS THEIR OWN APPROACH. ALAMANCE COUNTY'S COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT TEAM ADOPTED A COMMUNITY-BASED PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH APPROACH, WHICH MORE EXPLICITLY SHARES THE POWER OF DATA COLLECTION AND INTERPRETATION WITH GROUPS WHO HAVE TRADITIONALLY BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THESE PROCESSES. THE GUILFORD ASSESSMENT TEAM DESIGNED THE ASSESSMENT AS ""A DEEPER DIVE"" INTO THEIR PRIORITY AREAS, BY COLLECTING SECONDARY DATA, CONDUCTING A KEY INFORMANT SURVEY, AND HOLDING FOUR HALF-DAY COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS AND PEOPLE AFFECTED BY THE ISSUES. ROCKINGHAM COUNTY'S COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT ADVISORY GROUP CONDUCTED A 50-QUESTION DOOR-TO-DOOR SURVEY OF A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF 169 RESIDENTS, AND CONDUCTED FOCUS GROUPS WITH OVER 60 PEOPLE REPRESENTING AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN; HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS; AT- RISK YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS; BUSINESS COMMUNITY; FAITH COMMUNITY; HISPANIC MEN AND WOMEN; HOMELESS CITIZENS; PARKS AND RECREATION; MENTAL HEALTH/SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES RECIPIENTS; UNEMPLOYED RESIDENTS; VETERANS; AND PARENTS OF SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN."

CHNA SIGNIFICANT NEEDS
FORM 990, SCH H, PT V, SEC B, LINE 11-FACILITY 1 AREAS OF PRIORITY, PER THE 2022 CONE HEALTH COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, OFFERS A BOLD STEP TOWARD OFFERING A COMBINATION OF IMMEDIATE REMEDIES AND AUDACIOUS GOALS. THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS AND COMMUNITY COLLABORATIONS, CONE HEALTH WILL DELIVER HOLISTIC TREATMENT AND UPSTREAM PREVENTION OF CHRONIC DISEASE, ESPECIALLY DIABETES AND HEART DISEASE, ENSURE ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (BH) SERVICES, PROVIDE HEALTHCARE THAT IS AVAILABLE, ACCESSIBLE, AND AFFORDABLE, PROMOTE HEALTHY LIVING CONDITIONS BY ADDRESSING SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, AND ELIMINATE BIAS AND DISCRIMINATION TO BUILD TRUST WITH PATIENTS AND COMMUNITY. OUR COLLECTIVE ABILITY TO COMBAT CHRONIC DISEASE AND PROMOTE WELLNESS THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE AND COORDINATED NETWORK THAT PROVIDES RESOURCES, SUPPORT, EDUCATION, AND SAFE LIVING CONDITIONS IS THE KEYSTONE FOR TRANSFORMATION FROM EPISODIC SICK CARE TO A VALUE-BASED SYSTEM OF CARE. A HEALTH SYSTEM THAT IS OPTIMIZED TO REDUCE CHRONIC DISEASE RECOGNIZES THE NECESSITY TO REMOVE THE BARRIERS TO CARE. THIS INVOLVES AN INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH THAT MEETS THE PATIENTS WHERE THEY ARE, AS WELL AS SYSTEMIC SOLUTIONS THAT HELP PEOPLE WITH ACCESSIBILITY, AVAILABILITY AND AFFORDABILITY OF THE HEALTH CARE THAT ALLOWS THEM TO TAKE ACTION TO REDUCE THEIR RISK OF CHRONIC DISEASE, INCLUDING ATTENTION TO MENTAL HEALTH, DISPARITIES IN HEALTH AND THE SOCIAL NEEDS THAT ARE BARRIERS TO HEALTH.

PRE-COLLECTION PRACTICES
FORM 990, SCH H, PT V, SEC B, LINE 20E-FACILITY 1 THE HOSPITAL MAINTAINS A HARDSHIP SETTLEMENT POLICY WHICH PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PATIENTS TO REQUEST DISCOUNTS ON BALANCES DUE TO THE HOSPITAL IN EXCESS OF $5,000. THE PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY IS TO RECOGNIZE THAT EVEN AFTER THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE HOSPITAL'S AUTOMATIC DISCOUNT FOR ALL UNINSURED PATIENTS, THERE STILL COULD BE SITUATIONS WHERE THE PATIENT IS EXPERIENCING A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP TO PAY THE BALANCE DUE IN FULL. A PATIENT MAY REQUEST A HARDSHIP SETTLEMENT. FINANCIAL NEED WILL BE DETERMINED BY COMPARING A PATIENT'S TOTAL HOUSEHOLD FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND ASSETS TO THE REMAINING BALANCE. IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT AFTER ALL THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENTS, THE REMAINING BALANCE IS GREATER THAN $5,000 AND 20% OF THE PATIENT'S TOTAL FINANCIAL RESOURCES, THE PATIENT MAY APPLY FOR A HARDSHIP SETTLEMENT. THE APPLICABLE DISCOUNT INCREASES FOR BALANCES THAT MAKE UP A GREATER PERCENTAGE OF THE PATIENT'S TOTAL HOUSEHOLD FINANCIAL RESOURCES. IF AFTER ALL EFFORTS TO QUALIFY THE PATIENT FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED AND THE PATIENT REMAINS UNABLE TO PAY BALANCES GREATER THAN $5,000, THE UNPAID PORTION OF THE BILL MAY BE TURNED OVER TO COLLECTIONS.
